Manny Banuelos

The list is actually 120 long, but the four Yankees land in the top 100, or Top 82 as it were, so I am trying to play that up, but John Sickels of SB Nation just released his midseason top prospects list and four Yankees are on it. Gary Sanchez […]

The Yankees top prospect, Manny Banuelos, was never expected to contribute much in the Bronx this summer, but lately they haven’t even had the opportunity to make that decision as he has been on the shelf with an elbow injury since mid-May. It’s an elbow injury, but the Yankees have […]

Yesterday we got news that the Yankees top prospect, Manny Banuelos, was placed on the DL with an elbow injury. Anytime that happens the first thing that comes to mind is Tommy John Surgery which means a year on the DL. Fortunately, Banuelos’ injury doesn’t appear to be too serious. Josh […]

The Yankees injury problems are not limited to their Major League team as they put two minor leaguers on the DL Monday – Eduardo Nunez and top prospect Manny Banuelos. Nunez’s injury is the same thumb injury that he experienced the other day. Seems like nothing serious, but he has […]

The Yankees scored one run in the first and then the offense took the rest of the night off. David Phelps and the bullpen nearly pulled out the win anyway, but David Robertson had his worst outing in nearly two years as they lost 4-1 after heading into the 9th […]

So far this season Freddy Garcia looks too old to get the job done anymore and Phil Hughes looks like he may never be able to do the job. It had Yankees fans waiting for Andy Pettitte and Michael Pineda‘s return, but with the injury to Pineda the Yankees will […]

The Yankees have a plethora of pitching options at the MLB level and a superfluous amount of “arms in waiting” in Triple-A ready to pitch in the major leagues at the drop of a hat. Fans see this with the impending vacancy in right field, and feel the Yankees should […]

Not exactly breaking news as both of these things happened over the weekend, but they are important and didn’t want to miss them. The Yankees have placed their top prospect, LHP Manny Banuelos, and another strong prospect in 2B David Adams on the DL with a lat strain and a […]

The Yankees picked up a quick, easy win today as Hiroki Kuroda cruised through eight innings as they beat the Angels 5-0 at the home opener. Read our recap here. The Captain’s Blog asks is this is the year of the blown save? Maybe, but just not in the Bronx. […]

One of the more interesting stories in the minors this season will be the Triple-A starting rotation. David Phelps, Adam Warren, D.J. Mitchell, Manny Banuelos, and Dellin Betances all could begin the year as starters. Manny and Dellin represent high ceiling talents still a year or so away from contributing […]

Here are some notes on a few of the Yankees minor leaguers. Rafael DePaula was working out with Charleston this week, a sign that he has passed his physical and is officially a Yankee (Norris). David Adams has been told he will start the season with Double-A Trenton, the same […]
